Abstract

We continue the investigation started in [Sh:1215] about the relation between the Keilser-Shelah isomorphism theorem and the continuum hypothesis. In particular, we show it is consistent that the continuum hypothesis fails and for any given sequence m=(Mn1,Mn2:n<ω\mathbf m=\langle (\mathbb{M}^{1}_n, \mathbb{M}^{2}_n: n < \omega \rangle of models of size at most 1\aleph_1 in a countable language, if the sequence satisfies a mild extra property, then for every non-principal ultrafilter D\mathcal D on ω\omega, if the ultraproducts DMn1\prod\limits_{\mathcal D} \mathbb{M}^{1}_n and DMn2\prod\limits_{\mathcal D} \mathbb{M}^{2}_n are elementarily equivalent, then they are isomorphic.
